I my specific case, there were no components on the surface of the CPU, so there was no need for a "cushion" Also in my specific case, installation of the heat sink resulted in the sink not properly contacting the die cover on the CPU. I could actually see light between the sink and the die. With the "washer" in place, all was well. It is my contention that the "washer" is mandatory. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
